The new Beavis & Butthead isn't as good, but I think that is partly because there is very little commentary on music videos. I don't know why that is - MTV doesn't want to alienate the artists it works with?

Perhaps because music videos are no longer a culturally relevant form of entertainment.

Not liking the show is one thing. But complaining just because a few imitators miss the point isn't really the show's fault. More the imitators.

I don't know anyone now that still watches MTV, or would be willing to be lured back by its reincarnation. Admittedly, since I'm not forced to associate with the people who watched it I probably don't. But I'd love to find someone who liked that show, stopped watch MTV, and started again because of that show alone.

Well, I know people who started watching it again and claim it's still 'just as good'. Luckily, only by distant association.

Hold up, he said B&B wasn't given enouhg credit. Then he said alcohol enables morons to be morons. Those are mutually exlucive. And then says the results of banning alcohol were bad. Ergo, Bevis & Butthead not being given enough credit is on par with being in favor of prohibition? Please, please clarify.

I've honestly almost given up hope in seeing truly original content anymore. I love the **** out of Mike Judge, but I've not watched a single episode of the B&B reboot. I likewise haven't seen a single episode of Ren & Stimpy for when that was rebooted on...Spike, I believe? Way too drunk and lazy to double check that. (I know that wasn't Mike Judge, but still - nostalgia + reboot...)
Anyhow...there are so many people who are now dead to me, who I previously respected the hell out of. One of these examples being Tim Burton who hasn't done anything orginal since Big Fish which I thoroughly enjoyed. I agree with Ska in that it is no longer relevant...I did love Daria, but the kids who identified with Daria quickly became the kids who identified with Ghost World, then the kids who identified with Juno. It's just that everything seems to be becoming so repetitive and asinine that I'm predominately dismayed with the entertainment industry.

I agree with the whole repetition and glorification of being "alternative" being annoying. Especially when its such a gradual thing. You are like wow that person is so cool. Then you see the other 10 people mimicking that person on television and it almost ruined what you liked in the first place. Personally though I think Daria is a little bit different than any characters I have seen in the "alternative scope". She seems much more honest and concerned with doing her own thing rather than teenage insecurities but at the same time she has an incredibly balanced dynamic of being able to make slight adjustments to her attitude according to her experiences. It makes her a very realistic character despite her out of reality role of being in a cartoon with embellishment and the relatively safe world she lives in. |
